Structural highlights
2arw is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full experimental information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
IL6RA_HUMAN Part of the receptor for interleukin 6. Binds to IL6 with low affinity, but does not transduce a signal. Signal activation necessitate an association with IL6ST. Activation may lead to the regulation of the immune response, acute-phase reactions and hematopoiesis.[1][2] Low concentration of a soluble form of IL6 receptor acts as an agonist of IL6 activity.[3][4]
